What's the resolution of the video? Do you have "MediaInfo" on your computer to tell you that? What happens when you set VLC to a specific aspect ratio instead of "default"?

That is the expected behaviour is you disable automatic scaling.

This is the result I get with various different files, but for the file used in the photo grab
"Video Codec - Xvid 905kb/s 23fps 704x384"

The picture changes dimensions but never fills the screen area

That is the expected behaviour is you disable automatic scaling.

I couldn't find that in the menus, where to I find auto scaling?
